 New user Posts: 6 | hi everybody!! My name is Joanes, a 23 years old boy from San sebastian in the Basque country, located between Spain and france. I have grow up between rovers, as my father owned first a rover sd1 very rare on here (now waiting for restoration)and a 825sd(unfortunately crashed), and also my first car was and is a 220sd. This makes my appreciate a lot rovers, and as I wanted a car for having fun for the weekends as we are surrounded of mountains and we have great mountain roads, I started searching a car for that. The first option was obviously a rover  . I started looking for the typical ones on here like the 220gsi, 218-220 coupe and some mg like the zr or the zs, but none of them attract me enough, as most of them where in bad conditions. Until a day, that I don’t know how, reached to a page where a white 114gti was on sale. I got very impressed as I never saw any of them and didn’t even knew it existed. I started looking for information in pages and forums like this one haha, and got in love with that little thing, I had to have one!! I have been searching for about 6 months, and finally found a red 1991 114 gti SPI, that stayed in the same place from 2011 on a garaje. It has some work but I am very happy with it. My intention with it is restoring it for outside and the interior, leaving it the most original as possible with my touch, and if I have the option to buy a vvc engine do the conversion, but this is not a priority. I have some photos but they are of bad quality. For the moment I have taken out all the interior and threw it as it was incredibly dirty and full of dog hair. With no interior, I have been quitting some minimal rusty points and will paint all the floor of black for protecting it. I have also buy some parts, like mg metro red carpet set, zero exterior temperature warning sensor, headlight covers, mgf calipers and a janspeed exhaust manifold of the gti MPI, that will probably go with a sportex exhaust system. Most of them are not important things, but I think the car will look better with them. hope the post does not disturb anyone, just wanted to present my self and be part of this great forum if possible. kind regards, Joanes. | ||
